Solve for x

1 answer:

5 0

The lesser x is 2 and the greater x is 3. The x values can be determined by setting each set of numbers in parenthesis equal to 0, so 3x-6=0 and -x+3=0. To solve, take the first set, 3x-6=0 and divide by the greatest common factor, 3, leaving you with x-2=0. Add 2 to each side so that x=2. On the other side, take -x+3=0 and subtract three from each side. Take your new equation -x=-3 and multiply by -1 so that x=3. Therefore x=3 and x=2.

Kenny likes to count his money by tiling it on his table as shown. The diameter of a quarter is 24.26 mm. Find the area of the t

ElenaW [278]

First we have to assume that each quarter touched each other. Hence the area of the table not covered by the coins (A) is equal to the total area of the table (At) minus the total area of the coins (Ac). Coins are circle, so $A = \pi r^{2}$ and r =24.26mm. The area of one coin is then 1848.98mm^2. Hence the equation is A = At - xAc where x is the number of coins.
